Turnkey Integration
Options for electrical, safety, and downstream fit to your plant layout.
From Pain Points to Solutions
Handling Long, Heavy Pipes
Pain: Manual loading is unsafe and inefficient for 6‑meter lengths.
Solution: Horizontal hydraulic infeed automates safe loading and maintains continuous throughput.
Premature Blade Wear
Pain: Abrasive materials accelerate blade changes and downtime.
Solution: D2 tool‑steel knives and adjustable settings extend life and stabilize output quality.
Unstable Throughput
Pain: Irregular feed causes jams and inconsistent regrind.
Solution: PLC‑assisted feed control and chamber design balance loading and prevent stalls.
High OPEX
Pain: Energy and unplanned stops increase total cost.
Solution: Efficient drive packages and modular service access reduce energy use and downtime.

Applications & Materials
HDPE Pressure & Sewer Pipes
Long, thick‑wall pipes typical in municipal and industrial projects; processed without pre‑cutting via horizontal feed.
PVC/PPR Pipes
Rigid utility pipes in various diameters; blade configuration can be tuned for material hardness and output size.
Profiles & Boards
Window/door profiles, sheets and offcuts; stable infeed and high‑torque shredding ensure uniform regrind.
Scrap Offcuts & Long Sections
Bulky production scrap and line leftovers; safe hydraulic pushers reduce manual handling and improve throughput.

Our Shredder vs Traditional Systems
| Criteria | Traditional Systems | Horizontal Pipe Shredder |
|---|---|---|
| Feeding Method | Top/Manual loading; frequent stops | Hydraulic horizontal infeed; continuous |
| Long Pipe Handling | Often requires pre‑cutting | Direct 6‑meter processing |
| Throughput Stability | Variable; prone to jams | Balanced feed and torque control |
| Safety | Higher operator exposure | Automated pusher keeps distance |
| Maintenance & Downtime | Harder access; more stops | Modular access; faster service |
| Energy Efficiency | Non‑optimized loads | Efficient drives; controlled load |
| Output Consistency | Mixed sizes, rework needed | Uniform regrind; ready downstream |
What Customers Say
Horizontal feed made a big difference for long pipes—loading is safer and we maintain a steady 1,200 kg/h without frequent stops.
Operations Director · Europe
Blade life is solid with the D2 setup. Access for maintenance is straightforward, and we’ve reduced unplanned downtime noticeably.
Maintenance Manager · Southeast Asia
Uniform regrind improved our downstream washing and pelletizing steps—overall energy per ton is down thanks to the stable feed.

Horizontal Pipe Shredder FAQs
Yes. While optimized for HDPE, this shredder is highly effective for other large, bulky plastics like PVC, PPR pipes, and various plastic profiles and boards. We can adjust the blade configuration for your specific material.
The D2 steel blades are extremely durable. Depending on the abrasiveness of the material, we recommend inspection every 300-500 operating hours. The blades can be rotated 4 times before needing replacement, significantly extending their lifespan.
Absolutely. We offer comprehensive on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training to ensure your team can operate the machinery safely and efficiently from day one. We also provide ongoing technical support.
The hydraulic arm automates the process of pushing long, heavy pipes into the shredding chamber. This keeps operators at a safe distance from the cutting area, preventing accidents and reducing manual labor.
Standard configurations handle pipes up to 650 mm in diameter and 6 meters in length without pre‑cutting. Other sizes are available on request.
No pre‑cutting is required for typical long sections—horizontal hydraulic infeed accepts full‑length pipes. For extreme diameters or wall thickness, contact us for guidance.
Typical regrind is ~40 mm. Output size can be adjusted by screen selection and knife configuration to suit downstream requirements.
Standard supply is 380–480 V, 50/60 Hz, 3‑phase. We can tailor electrical specifications to your regional standards.
Pricing starts at USD 50,000 for a base configuration. Final costs depend on capacity, options, and integration level—request a quote for an exact proposal.
Typical manufacturing lead time is 45–60 days plus shipping. We offer on‑site installation and commissioning services to accelerate start‑up.
